THE STORY BEHIND "LUCIAS TOKAS - AKA"

The CD "Lucias Tokas - AKA" is a collection of 10 songs written by Marty Walsh and Libby Hosford. They are based upon a quasi-fictitious person, "Lucias Tokas". The name came to Marty in a dream that he had about his late father. In the dream he was hanging out with his father's ex-partner in music, when he was told that his father had in the past used an AKA of "Lucias Tokas". He immediately woke up and wrote the name down on a piece of paper next to his bed. About a week later, Seattle based producer Roby Duke called Marty and asked him if he would like to make an album for his record company, Iridian Records. So he decided to make a record based on his father's character in his dream. In the months that followed, the band and the album were born. It details the life of a man. From the first song "Sirens", to the final song "The Awakening", the story of a man called "Lucias".
